[leobul73@gmail.com]

Hi guys I just find out my 6 m old hulk completely stop I have this watch on watch winder and never have any problem then today I check it and I was surprise watch completely stop then I winded and still nothing happen then I Shake little then watch start moving, then o put them on my timegrapher and all number was look so wired I am so upset I only wear them one time and I can believe this is a Rolex I taking watch to Rolex tomorrow please let me know what you think

[CKizzy]

Mechanical things do break and it's under warranty so send it in for service...next!

I know but I only had this watch 6 m wear only 1 time I have Rolex gmt for 12 years never had any problems I am so piss

341 deg of amplitude is very high, and a 0.6 beat error would partially account for that. Has it been dropped? Are you using a cheap winder? Magnetism can be a real issue with cheap winders.

[RJRJRJ]

If it's dead, it can take 15+ winds just to get it moving. Give it 40+ FULL 360* winds of the crown and see what happens. Your watch winder likely barely keeps it active, it doesn't give it a full charge.

I never drop my watch and I have wolf winder I have 11 total Rolex and never had any problems I really don’t know why they stop and why after 25 winding watch still was not moving until I shake little

Just one of those unfortunate things then. Send it in to Rolex and get it fixed. It doesn’t really matter why since it’s a rare thing anyway.

[fskywalker]

Well at least its covered by Rolex warranty!

I don't think there is any reason to be too upset. Its under warranty and as you've only worn it once in 6 months you can probably live without while it is away getting repaired.

These things happen, not everything mechanical is perfect.

[Sunstreaker]

That was an impressively long run-on sentence.

Sorry to hear about the issues but I’m sure it can be fixed easily.

The beat error does definitely not account for an amplitude that high. The only influence it would have is lowering the amplitude.

340 is way too high and it will keep erratic time due to overbanking at this point. It needs a weak mainspring to fix this.

Thank you watch. Completely stop at 6 am I was trying to wind it again and nothing happen total dead

That’s what I meant - if the beat error was 0.0 then the amplitude might have been a more reasonable number? But that doesn’t explain why this suddenly happened having worked normally prior to this. Fitting a weak mainspring isn’t tackling the cause but only treating the symptoms.

If high amplitude / overbanking is the problem, then a weak mainspring will fix that. It is what Rolex does.

You could of course spend time and adjust the pallet fork, because that is where the actual problem is.

This was working fine for 6 months then things suddenly changed. So what changed and why?

Hard to say without opening it up.

But 340 degrees will not happen just like that, nor will it properly keep time for 6 months.

That’s what I find so strange. And surely it didn’t leave Geneve like this either!

Had a similar issue with my wife’s datejust after a little over a year. She barely wears it and we keep them inside watch cases only. Bizarre. It doesn’t even feel any different when winding it. Just won’t run out of nowhere.

Word of advice, call Rolex RSC and make sure they are a) open and b) make an appointment. I had to make one almost 3 weeks out. They told me they are at 10% capacity. They will give you a one hour window and won’t take walk ins. It’s very annoying.

Same thing happened to my BLNR exactly 12 month after I purchased from AD. In a wolf winder and I noticed one morning the watch wasn’t winding

[leobul73@gmail.com]

Send to Rolex last Friday they received it will take 6 weeks to get back also when I took to mayors they check watch and did not find any scratches , then when Rolex received they inspect and they find it some scratches on the bezel , Bracelet and one the case, I am so piss 5 m watch stop Working and have some some scratches i never wear them, I keep this watch on the watch winder. I told Mayors to call Rolex and find out what going on

[synrrgy]

Keep us posted on what happens with the watch and what RSC says about the scratches.

Lol. Thinking the same. Anger and punctuation don't mix.

[Bruce_Wayne]

My brain stopped working after reading this post without any punctuation.

Assuming you are still under warranty, just send it in. Still a bummer none the less.

They inspect your watch under magnification so more than likely there is scratches you can’t see with the naked eye.

It was a tough read

[Napoleon]

Happened to me once with a Datejust and another non-Rolex watch. After about 3 months of using a winder while watches were in rotation they both started keeping erratic time / stopping.

Turned out the lubrication inside the watches had dried. That was the last time I used a winder.

[watchmework]

I read your post in my head as if someone was screaming and yelling the words.

Unfortunately these things happen from time to time with mechanical watches, at least it’s covered by the warranty and they are taking care of it. You’ll have it back in your watch wonder in no time.

Rolex will repair it to be as good as new.

So if you had only one watch and wore it constantly (except in bed) how is that any different? How does oil dry up from being on a winder at a constant speed and likely a constant temperature vs being on the wrist at varying speeds, positions and varying temperatures. It defies logic.
